Crazy dreams and tires that POP!

well first off the dream you had is crazy hahahaha! my church is a couple miles from the temple, not connected to it and my bike is DEFINATELY not a low rider haha! if you came i would introduce you to alot of missionaries ha cuz well i know alot of them. did you get a prescription from matt for some pills??? lol in a tree like tarzan bahahaha nah havnt done that one yet either. yeah i hate it when the alarm ruins dreams ha i had that happen a couple times last week.wow i cant believe all those people got their calls thats crazy! im stoked for them! it is rough sometimes but it is for everyone we just all have to remember that those times make us stronger and help us better appreciate our savior Jesus Christ. haha thats sweet Saiko is an awesome name for the puppy! haha im sure dad doesnt like the poopin in the garage ha i remember him always gettin all sorts of mad when the animals did that ha i can just picture him and it puts a smile on my face. i love that im not the only missionary in the family. My whole family is working to do the same thing i am, to help people make it back to live with their families forever. so with your diet im gonna tell ya the same exact thing we tell people that smoke or drink or anything that isnt good for them, first turn to your heavenly father and ask him for help. i know you may be thinkin thats silly to ask him to help you lose weight or have motivation to do so but its not. 2nd find something to replace eating a great thing is the book of mormon, heck you can still eat too just grab a granola bar and sit down and read for a minute or a while, then 3rd thank heavenly father for that support and help. ha i know if you do that it will help, and when you wake up in the mornings ask for help through out the day. wow well my comps name is elder Chavez, from california he is cool, yeah we get along pretty good. baptism went pretty good with andrea and her sister. my week and the work is startin to go slower, people just arent progressing and so yeah we are kinda doin the same thing scherbel is idk its just been tough and findin new people is gettin tough too. i do have a lock for my bike so dont stress , now i just need steel tubes for my tires bah they pop sooooo much its a joke. everything is good though i just gotta stay workin hard. i love you all a ton hope everything is good there.
